So far my runs have consisted of going around Lake Chabot and running as many miles as I can. I am averaging about 30 miles a week. I have lots of thinking not to do. But my knees are a little sore and I hear lots of stories about injuries. After all, I am in my 50's and I need to take a sensible approach.
Today I started using the training schedule put together by the Peta Pack. I will now be training smarter. Cross training and actually running less. Today I ran 4 miles at an easy pace. It was wonderful! I felt so rejuvenated afterwards. I am usually quite tired. So let's see how well this works. I missed the first day, so tomorrow I will run 4 miles again just to be on the same page as everyone else. Only 8 weeks until the race!

Today's workout: 4 miles
I'm not a runner - just a mom trying to deal with the death of her daughter. Kristy was a multi-talented woman and a professional athlete. Running helps me to feel her presence. And it offers a little peace. - Kristy's mom
